On 26th March this year, the Shorty Award
for Best Fansite was awarded to Sherlockology (@Sherlockology). While we did not
win this award, we come in second, with a total of 1270 votes; more than twice
the number of most nominees outside the top 5 spots. With more than 30,000
voters participating in this category and approximately 2920 nominees in it,
this can be seen as somewhat of a coup for SMTownSNSD and even more
importantly, our Soshi girls.

By beating the likes of Demi Lovato, Paramore,
Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus fansites, S♥NEs have shown that our beloved goddesses
have what it takes to match the popularity and activity of international acts
on social media platforms.

With the voting done in such a way that only once vote
may be placed from anyone person per category, our staff here at SMTownSNSD have taken much pride even though we did not scoop up the award this time
around.

The Shorty
Awards, also known as the Shorties, are an awards event that honors top
short-form content creators on the micro-blogging website Twitter. Since their
creation in 2008, the awards have expanded to recognize content creation on
other social networking sites, including Tumblr, Foursquare, and Facebook.

Here’s a
short clip of the winner, @Sherlockology, receiving the awards for “Best
Fansite.”

While we did
not pick up the award this year, I would like to thank all our followers for
your support and love you have shown us. Please do continue to support us and
Girls’ Generation and we promise that we will strive to serve all of you even
better in the future.
